MidshoreRiverkeeper Conservancy (MRC) wants you to know that it is not too late to register or create your own team for the 12th Annual Ride for Clean Rivers (formerly Tour de Talbot) bike ride on Sunday, September 18 at Chesapeake College. Fall is a beautiful time to take to the backroads of Queen Anne’s, Caroline, and Talbot Counties all in support of healthier Midshorerivers. It is a bike ride for all ages and levels. Riders can choose from 20-mile, 35-mile, or 63-mile routes, which all include SAG support and rest stops with food and drink. It is a day filled with fun, friends, fitness, and a bit of fundraising, for those who wish to participate! This year, MRC’s goal is to have 500 registered riders and to raise $50,000 all going towards cleaner and healthier Midshorerivers. We can do it with your help!
Although it is not required, once registered, we encourage riders to reach out to their friends, families, neighbors, and business associates and ask them to sponsor their ride. All of the proceeds go toward keeping our local rivers clean.
And did we mention the prize? The individual who raises the most money will become the proud owner of a new bike.Visit rideforcleanrivers.org for all the details.Register now and receive an early registration discount.
